Jean de Villiers has been cleared of his wrist injury and will be available for the Stormers’ next game against the Cheetahs.

Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has also confirmed that Gio Aplon (hamstring), Eben Etzebeth (shoulder) and Andries Bekker (back), have recovered from their injuries and will be available for next week’s match.

However, Schalk Burger, Duane Vermeulen and Nick Koster won’t be available for the next four matches. Coetzee hopes that the three loose forwards will be fit by 30 June when the Super Rugby competition recommences after a break for international matches.
